With your patch we haven't been able to reproduce the kernel crash until now.
Now we "only" run into I/O stalls, which before your patch we also did. But
repeatedly rebooting and retrying and ignoring the I/O stalls always lead to
a crash.
Gonzalo will run a couple of extra rounds so we can have a feeling if at least
one of the bugs could be fixed with your patch ;)
